Meeting Early Payment Discounts

Sometimes, suppliers of merchandise will offer retailers a discount if they pay an invoice within 10 days instead of 30 days (as an example). The problem is, it’s not always so easy for retailers to pay within 10 days, especially if invoice processing is not 100% automated, as is the case when they’re receiving invoices in multiple formats (EDI and non-EDI) and manually mapping the data for processing within back-end systems.

Speeding Supplier Onboarding

Retailers must connect to an ever-shifting base of suppliers, distributors, value-added networks (VANs) and managed service providers (MSPs). The EDI format is a standard in retail, but not every supplier can “speak” EDI, especially small “mom and pop” businesses with low technical capabilities.

Facilitating Supply Chain Chargebacks

Retailers must have a way of assessing fines or chargebacks to supply chain partners who don’t meet their commitments. Shipments that arrive late or not at all, invalid Advanced Shipping notices, damaged shipments, or shipments that go to the wrong location all cost retailers real dollars. Instead of absorbing them, retailers can bill their suppliers for the time it took to correct the problem. But that can be difficult or impossible — especially if data from multiple sources has to be correlated.
